Up to $30K in Pilot credits for early-stage teams building internal knowledge bases.

Pilot hands $30K in annual credits to startups under two years old that haven't raised more than $1M and have fewer than 10 people. You get a year of their wiki product, monthly founder spotlights on their channels, custom merch, and a $10K referral bonus if you bring in other startups or investors. It's a straightforward deal if you actually need a knowledge base—the credits are real and usable immediately. The catch: you have to be a new Pilot customer, and the $10K referral bonus requires active recruiting on your part. Best for early-stage teams that are already thinking about documentation and want to defer that spend.
